Known stumbling blocks
----------------------

- The Web Services binding only works with HTTPS. 
  The .NET framework does not allow calls with UsernameTokens over plain HTTP.

- Not all CMIS Web Services endpoints are compatible with the .NET framework for 
  a number of reasons.
  
- Content is buffered in main memory when the Web Services binding is used. 
  That can cause problems with huge documents. 
  The maximum document size can be controlled with the SessionParameter.MessageSize 
  parameter. The default is 4 MB. The absolute maximum is 2 GB.

=> Use the AtomPub binding whenever possible! 
   It causes less trouble, is faster, streams and can deal with documents of any size.
  
  
Strong-Name signing
-------------------

The DLL included in this release is signed with a public/private key pair that is also 
included in this package. This allows you to deploy it to the global assembly cache (GAC) 
and to make changes to the DotCMIS source code without recompiling your application.
However, since the private key is publicly available, this strong name cannot be trusted.
If a trust relationship between your application and the DotCMIS DLL is important to you, 
you have to rebuild the DLL from the source code and sign it yourself.
